Capitalism And Mental Slavery

It's true Life is full of days and nights Sunshine and darkness Good and evil Righteousness and wickedness Now let's dissect the bloated face of capitalism Let's open the thick skull hiding the horrendous contents Let's cut through the cord of fashion and cosmopolitan identities Let's dwell on the bread and butter issues It stinks to be at the bottom of the food chain And live from hand to mouth Foraging for bread crumbs It's totally disgusting for humanity to be so backward When it comes to feeding the poor and addressing the vulnerable Alleviating suffering With pockets full of wealth Capitalism has produced millionaires and billionaires At the same time poisoning the mental capabilities of the masses It's very sad to open the book of statistics And count the number of people living under the poverty datum line It's true Individualism has brought prosperity to a few And multiculturalism has sharpened the axe of exploitation Big cities are attractive With gigantic megastructures and neon lights But it's common to find red-light districts And a bunch of homeless people On the back alleys of these beautiful megacities Capitalism has ruined the fabric of humanity's moral compass Polluting the ocean of our collective conscience Excavating the gap between the rich and poor Constructing an unequal society From one country to another Inequality is everywhere The poor are everywhere Begging to be freed From these mental slavery ©
